I would disagree with you that the design is flawed. I own two ARs (along with a gun safe full of other goodies) and have some experience with the design. The problems our guys are seeing are not the ones introduced when the design was initially fielded - we got the chrome lining of the barrels now and the right kind of powder. What we are seeing is lack of stopping power and range. That we can fix, without going through years of testing and failures in the field.

Thing is, the AR-15-type is still jamming in the field under adverse conditions, and that is unacceptable. Yes, the original problems have been "solved", but the same symptoms with different causes keep appearing.
